Thought Adjuster's

Post by Zachary »

Wanted to share this with whoever may read it. These Ubook quotes have tremendously helped me grasp the concept and function of the TA.. was hoping it would do the same for you. If this peaks your interest, I recommend you read the entire paper 111


These are personal favorites;

Material evolution has provided you a life machine, your body; the Father himself has endowed you with the purest spirit reality known in the universe, your Thought Adjuster. But into your hands, subject to your own decisions, has been given mind, and it is by mind that you live or die. It is within this mind and with this mind that you make those moral decisions which enable you to achieve Adjusterlikeness, and that is Godlikeness.
111:1.4

Though the work of Adjusters is spiritual in nature, they must, perforce, do all their work upon an intellectual foundation. Mind is the human soil from which the spirit Monitor must evolve the morontia soul with the co-operation of the indwelt personality.
111:1.1

Material mind is the arena in which human personalities live, are self-conscious, make decisions, choose God or forsake him, eternalize or destroy themselves.
111:1.3

Mortal mind is a temporary intellect system loaned to human beings for use during a material lifetime, and as they use this mind, they are either accepting or rejecting the potential of eternal existence. Mind is about all you have of universe reality that is subject to your will, and the soul — the morontia self — will faithfully portray the harvest of the temporal decisions which the mortal self is making. Human consciousness rests gently upon the electrochemical mechanism below and delicately touches the spirit-morontia energy system above. Of neither of these two systems is the human being ever completely conscious in his mortal life; therefore must he work in mind, of which he is conscious. And it is not so much what mind comprehends as what mind desires to comprehend that insures survival; it is not so much what mind is like as what mind is striving to be like that constitutes spirit identification. It is not so much that man is conscious of God as that man yearns for God that results in universe ascension. What you are today is not so important as what you are becoming day by day and in eternity.
111:1.5

Mind is your ship, the Adjuster is your pilot, the human will is captain.
111:1.9

Thank you Zachary,
It has been a while since I've read the Adjuster papers in the Urantia Book. Maybe this would be a good time to review them once again. :)
I hope you have been well over there. :hithere
Love,
Sandy

I especially like what you've put in bold, Zach.

It's nice coming back here and being reminded of these things.

Thank you~

When the time is right, is right Rod.

Faith in Gods Timing is transcendental in itself.

The mind as an arena for existential battles, where each individual confronts dilemmas, choices, transcendence, or downfall.

And the idea that our decisions shape not only our present, but our eternal essence, is a powerful invitation to reflection. If every choice echoes into eternity, then living consciously becomes a sacred responsibility.

===============================================================================================================================

A mente como arena de batalhas existenciais, onde cada indivíduo se confronta com dilemas, escolhas, transcendência ou queda.

E a ideia de que nossas decisões moldam não apenas nosso presente, mas nossa essência eterna, é um convite poderoso à reflexão. Se cada escolha ecoa na eternidade, então viver conscientemente se torna uma responsabilidade sagrada.
May the Father be at the center of the heart of your thoughts

Yes...It is a strong reminder, Muaricio.
Life in the Western world these days provides many "sirens" luring us away from self-reflection. Entertainment in our spare hours calls to us, luring us into a false sense of peace as we zone out with the latest screened episodes or digital games. Still, I am reminded of how the amazing Divine Spirit can find us even through such things... reminding us of a presence that is always with us, ready to accept us as we are and guide our steps.
If we just reach out, our hands will be grasped.
.......................................................
Sim... É um forte lembrete, Muaricio.
A vida no mundo ocidental hoje em dia oferece muitas "sirenes" que nos afastam da autorreflexão. O entretenimento em nossas horas de folga nos chama, levando-nos a uma falsa sensação de paz enquanto nos distraímos com os últimos episódios exibidos ou jogos digitais. Ainda assim, lembro-me de como o incrível Espírito Divino pode nos encontrar mesmo em meio a essas coisas... lembrando-nos de uma presença que está sempre conosco, pronta para nos aceitar como somos e guiar nossos passos.
Se apenas estendermos a mão, ela será segurada.

So true Sandy!

I will watch something on TV to rest, and somehow whatever "random" thing I decide to watch will find a way to speak to my budding Eternal presence!

Or, you may remember, that midwayers have even found a way to reach me while I play my video game!

Image
That is the name of a "random" opponent I was playing, and on that day, I was speaking telepathically with *something... *someone, who told me what cards I would draw next.

Why? I can only think, to make me aware of a reality greater than the one we numb ourselves to.

Have a beautiful and peace filled time in the DIVINE SPACE that is ETERNALLY PRESENT ~

:) Yep, that was what I was remembering. And sometimes Bzutu would join us when he was on reversion and we were relaxing, watching a show.
We are all so blessed to have such celestial siblings in our corner and cheering us on.
